Hi all,
I am a new member to this site, so just wanted to drop a quick intro,
I am based in the Manchester area, (anyone doing rideouts near by ?),
Have been riding for about 8 months,
Currently riding a 125 cruiser, and hoping to upgrade in the summer,
Looking forward to meeting some interesting people on here,
Possibly attend meets and more,
So yeah, Hi everyone
!

Howdy!
What make is your cruiser?
I have a Honley HD3 SE 125 & I have thought about joining rideouts, but don't want to hinder those on faster bikes.

Hey man I got a Daelim Daystar 125,
Yeah not the fastest either, but I am still keen on joining some rideouts.
Know any fun routes ?

I had a look at those & Keeway Superlights before I got my Honley as I half fancied a cruiser for the seating position, but I thought they looked a little heavy for a 125.

Not yet as I haven't had that much chance to get out on the bike during daylight hours since I got it at the end of September.
As I live near Saddleworth I've tended to wander aimlessly toward Holmfirth, Halifax and that neck of the woods along with Littleborough, Chapel-En-Le- Frith & so on.
It's not that much fun in the dark though on unlit roads, with quite a poor headlight.
I keep meaning to go and see what the Cat & Fiddle ride is like & generally get out a bit more at weekends now the weather's a bit warmer & we are starting to see more daylight.

Sounds like you two need to pick a MacD, agree a date between you and then put a ride out up as an "L" 125 friendly.

Welcome!
The cat and fiddle is great fun even on a 125. Go from Buxton side so it's downhill on the fun part once you're on the run into Mac it's great

Would that be via Buxton Old Road or the A537?

Yes man it is pretty heavy for a 125, but its still pretty good fun to be honest.
And will definitely organise a 125 friendly route some time soon !
